This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled init: Provide arch_cpu_finalize_init() to the 4.14-stable tree which can be found at: http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary The filename of the patch is: init-provide-arch_cpu_finalize_init.patch and it can be found in the queue-4.14 subdirectory. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to the stable tree, please let <stable@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> know about it. >From 11bc27b01a313cc489c807ceddb0a93a6770fd11 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Wed, 14 Jun 2023 01:39:22 +0200 Subject: init: Provide arch_cpu_finalize_init() From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> commit 7725acaa4f0c04fbefb0e0d342635b967bb7d414 upstream check_bugs() has become a dumping ground for all sorts of activities to finalize the CPU initialization before running the rest of the init code. Most are empty, a few do actual bug checks, some do alternative patching and some cobble a CPU advertisement string together.... Aside of that the current implementation requires duplicated function declaration and mostly empty header files for them. Provide a new function arch_cpu_finalize_init(). Provide a generic declaration if CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_CPU_FINALIZE_INIT is selected and a stub inline otherwise. This requires a temporary #ifdef in start_kernel() which will be removed along with check_bugs() once the architectures are converted over.
